Title: Improvements in or relating to semi-automatic weighing machines
IPC: G01G1/26
Filed: 1925-04-17
Abstract: 254,421. Dechesne, A. April 17, 1925. Loose-weight apparatus.- In a direct-reading, semiautomatic weighing-scale, the platform is adapted to carry two loose weights which are balanced by a counterweight on the platform lever, and a pointer is adapted to register with a chart having a range of one unit. As diagramatically shown in Fig. 1, a platform D is connected through levers A, B and a draw-rod I to a pendulous lever (not shown). Two cylindrical weights J are normally supported on the platform and are counterbalanced bv a weight E. Two brackets K, L, Fig. 4, slidably mounted on vertical rods M, are disposed beneath the weights J and are connected by rods N to cranks P, P1, which project from a shaft O. The arrangement is such that the rotation of the shaft O through a right angle in a clockwise direction causes the bracket K to rise and thereby lift one of the weights J, while the bracket L is moved downwardly and returned to its initial position. A second rotation of the shaft causes the lifting of the weight L, the weight K remaining in lifted position. A third crank Q mounted on the shaft is connected by a rod R to a lever S pivoted at s, whereby the initial and final integer on the chart is adjusted according to the number of weights J in operation.

Title: Improvements in turbines, turbo-charging compressors and processes of gas impingement upon blades of a rotor
IPC: F04D25/04
Filed: 1968-03-04
Abstract: 1,221,344. Turbines; gas turbine plant; centrifugal compressors; charging, I.C. engines. CATERPILLAR TRACTOR CO. March 4, 1968 [April 20, 1967], No.10339/68. Headings F1B, F1C, F1G and F1T. The inlet nozzles in a housing surrounding a bladed rotor, such as a turbine or compressor, are so arranged that elastic fluid passing, through the nozzles to impinge upon the blades tends to reduce vibration of the blades. In one embodiment, a supercharger for an engine 14 comprises an exhaust gas turbine 17 driving a centrifugal compressor 12 feeding air to the engine manifold 13. The compressor 12 has a normal operating speed of approximately 70,000 r.p.m. but when the exhaust gas flow is insufficient to maintain this speed compressed air is directed through nozzles 28 in housing 21 to impinge upon the compressor blades 24 and provide an additional driving force to the rotor. The compressed air is contained in a reservoir 16 pressurized by a compressor (not shown) driven by engine 14, the reservoir supplying air to an annular chamber 26 and nozzles 28 via a valve 18 which opens in response to engine manifold pressure corresponding to a speed of compressor 12 of 30, 000 r.p.m. and closes when the speed has reached 56,000 r.p.m. The compressor blades 24 have a natural frequency of vibration of 7300 cycles/sec and thus the blades 24 pass through their 8th and 15th orders of vibration over the speed range in which driving assistance is provided by nozzles 28, an "order of vibration" being an integer representing the number of blade vibrations per rotor revolution. A condition of blade resonance would arise if over this range an order of vibration coincided with the number of nozzles 28 (e.g. 9th order and 9 nozzles). To avoid the risk of resonance, the number of equally spaced radii 32 on which the nozzles 28 are disposed is selected so that the number is neither exactly divisible by nor exactly divisible into any of the orders of vibration lying within the assistance range. In this case 17 is a suitable number of radii. Each nozzle 28 must lie on one of the radii 32 but, as in the present case where there are only 7 nozzles, every radii need not have a nozzle. The inclination of each nozzle 28 to the wall of the housing 21 is in the range 15 to 30 degrees and each may be of slit form rather than generally circular. When the air outlet from the rotor chamber is arranged as a series of angularly spaced ports then these ports may be arranged in the same manner as the nozzles 28 to prevent blade resonance. The invention is applicable also to a turbine proper which is continuously driven by gas passing through spaced nozzles.

April 3, 1935, No. 10416. [Class 64 (ii)] [See also Group X] A sound-absorbing covering 1 for walls, ceilings and the like is made of porous or semi-porous material and is provided, on the exposed surface, with a number of holes which have flared mouths and are formed by punching. The punching operation avoids the removal of any material when forming the holes. The covering may consist of tiles, sheets, or slabs and may be provided, as shown, with a thin covering layer 2 of resilient plaster, asbestos felt, rubber-asbestos or like material which does not crack when punched. Several punches may be fixed to a plate so that all the holes in a tile or the like can be formed simultaneously. The depth, diameter and number of the holes depend upon the mean frequency of the sound waves to be absorbed. For frequencies ranging between 4000 and 10,000 cycles per second, the diameter of the flared mouth 5 would be 0À125" and the diameter at the throat 0À026", the holes being 0À5" deep and arranged in rows 0À275" apart. The total mouth area amounts to 5-10 per cent of the exposed area of the covering.
